Cell kinetics of reversible and persistent forestomach lesions induced by the genotoxic agent N-methyl-N'-nitro-N-nitrosoguanidine (MNNG) and/or the nongenotoxic antioxidant butylated hydroxyanisole (BHA) was investigated. A total of 184 male F344 rats were divided into four groups: Group 1 given an initial single gastric intubation of MNNG received 2% BHA diet from the third wk to the 26th wk and then basal diet; Group 2 receiving 2% BHA without MNNG initiation; Group 3 given MNNG alone; and Group 4 serving as a nontreated control. Rats were sequentially sacrificed at 6, 16, 26, 30, and 46 wk. Bromodeoxyuridine was administered either as a single i.p. injection (100 mg/kg of body weight) 1 h before killing or continuously via an osmotic minipump (120 micrograms/h) for 1, 3, or 7 days prior to sacrifice, in each case labeled cells being detected by immunohistochemistry. Squamous cell hyperplasia (SCH) and basal cell hyperplasia (BCH), each characterized by different phenotypic keratin expression, were induced in Groups 1 to 3. After withdrawal of BHA, rapid regression of SCH and extremely slow regression of BCH were observed. Papillomas and squamous cell carcinomas developed irreversibly in Group 1 and 3, BHA significantly (P less than 0.01) enhancing the incidence of SCC in Group 1. Flash and continuous bromodeoxyuridine labeling revealed SCH to consist of cells of high mitotic activity and short life span, whereas BCH consisted of cells with low mitotic activity and long life span. In addition, highly labeled areas were observed in SCH after cessation of BHA feeding in Group 1 without regression, and similar lesions were also evident in Group 3. The results suggest that rapid regression of SCH and slow regression of BCH reflect different cell kinetic patterns and that highly labeled areas after release from stimulating agents might be preneoplastic changes related to cancer development.

D007633 Keratins A class of fibrous proteins or scleroproteins that represents the principal constituent of EPIDERMIS; HAIR; NAILS; horny tissues, and the organic matrix of tooth ENAMEL. Two major conformational groups have been characterized, alpha-keratin, whose peptide backbone forms a coiled-coil alpha helical structure consisting of TYPE I KERATIN and a TYPE II KERATIN, and beta-keratin, whose backbone forms a zigzag or pleated sheet structure. alpha-Keratins have been classified into at least 20 subtypes. In addition multiple isoforms of subtypes have been found which may be due to GENE DUPLICATION.

D004247 DNA A deoxyribonucleotide polymer that is the primary genetic material of all cells. Eukaryotic and prokaryotic organisms normally contain DNA in a double-stranded state, yet several important biological processes transiently involve single-stranded regions. DNA, which consists of a polysugar-phosphate backbone possessing projections of purines (adenine and guanine) and pyrimidines (thymine and cytosine), forms a double helix that is held together by hydrogen bonds between these purines and pyrimidines (adenine to thymine and guanine to cytosine).
